TO BE USED IN WAR AS CRUISERS.
The White Star Line to Have Two Re-
markable New Vessels.

From the NeU York World.
The new vessels which will be added to the
White Star Line next season, may revolutionize
ocean travel It is said that the boats will be
able to make the passage in five days The YES
sells are being built on new plan. There are
two of Them just alike They will have twin
screws and two engines. A bulkhead extends
from the bow to the stern, completely dividing
the vessel, and the only passage from one side
of the vessel to the other will be through an au-
tomatically closing door on the engineers plat
form The engines will be built on a new MODEL,
and are expected to give great speed.
The firStclass saloons will be fitted up for the
accommodation OF 800 passengers only. They
will be divided into suits of bedroom, parlor
and bathroom. The second-class accommoda-
tons on these vessels will be the same as the
first cabin of the ordinary Atlantic lines. There
will be no steerage They are built for a double
purpose 1t has been arranged that the govern
ment is to pay the White Star Company $4,000
annually in order to retain these boats i'll case
of war. Specially designed plans are being fol
lowed so that each vessel can be changed from
an ordinary liner to a naval cruiser in three
days. The armament will consist of forty
pound guns, and it is expected that the triple
expansion engines viii make the vessels very
desirable and of much practical service as
cruisers or transports in case of war. The main
framework of these vessels is already up, and
they will be the largest steamers afioat except
the Great Eastern

Mrs. Tilton Buys Souvenir ofBeecher
From the PittsEyyr0 DisDnfch.

FROM the EtttSOUfJ OtSputch.
New YORK, Nov. 12.-There was bit of senti-
ment in an auction sale this week Although it
was a disposal of the effects of Henry Ward
Beecher. little interest excited outside of his
personal friends, who attended for the purpose
of buying souvenirs of their beloved pastor
Books and brica brac went, one after another
at about their original cost, until tiny, paper
bound copy of Mrs. Browning's poems was
offered. The auctioneer regarded it carelessy
but one person present bad discovered written
on fly leaf, Theodore Tilton to Henry Ward
Beecher" and he Did it up slowly to 81, SO, So,
FINALLY losing it to somebody who gave So.
''Glad didn't get it, he remarked; lit isn't
worth any such ridiculous price"
Who had paid $5for thing intrinsically worth
no more than &C.? Elizabeth Tilton. The os-
teus!hle purchaser was an intimate friend. Pre-
sumably Mrs. Tilton desired it as joint me-
mento of the two remarkable men who once
made such an awful commotion over her. What
particular memory was to her associated with
this gift of her husband to her pastor do not
know, but do know that the little volume is
now at the bindery being covered handsomely
in morocco.

A MAGNET MADE OF CANNoNs.
1t Lifts a Cannon Ball as if it Were a
Needle.
N'om The NeW York World.

From the NeU York World.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Nov. 14.-One of our lead
ing army engineers has brought before the
engineer classes of late an experiment of so
startling a nature in its inception as to promise
wonderful results 1t is a monster magnet made
of two Rodman guns, which are connected at
the breech Around the magnet thus formed is
wound about twenty miles of submarine cable.
The cable is some that has been used in the tor
pedo service. 1t is wound and fastened in a
substantial manner, making permanent mag
net, When electricity is applied some strange
results take place. For instance bar of rail
road iron 30 feet long, il placed in the open
lannon's mouth, cannot be drawn out by as
many men as can grasp it.
Another instance of the strength of this big
magnet was illustrated Saturday with $50
pound cannon ball The shot was placed in the
mouth of the cannon on the negative side. On
reversing the electrical current it fell from its
position, but was attracted TO the opposite can
non and chung to its side. The positive current
was then reversed alternately with the negative,
and the heavy cannon-ball played between the
two cannon like tack between the poles of a
toy magnet. Before many days there will be a
public exhibition of this remarkably attractive
magnet.

HVpnotism.

A few years ago the possibility of such a
thing as mesmerism was almost universally
scoffed at, and the career of the man from
whose name the word was coined was re-
ferred to as illustrating the success which
could be won by bright and bold charla-
tan. Now, under new name, hypnotism
this curious subsection OF the mind and
body of one person to the will of another is
considered so well established that the
governments of France and Denmark have
passed laws in regard to it, Hereafter no
one but physician will be allowed to exer-
else this strange power, and he only with
the written consent of the subject, in the
presence of another physician. The adoption
of such laws may be taken as official
acknowledgment that mesmerism is no
longer matter for dispute, but is an estab-
lished fact
What queer possibilities of crime are
made possible to the possessor Of this dan
gerous power over his fellows He might
move among them as master among his
most abiect slaves. At his suggestion the
most terrible crimes would be committed by
persons morally innocent of them, and who
COuiu uOu I6lllcillOeI luclT dClS WHEN again
restored TO a natural state The real crimi-
nal would be connected with the wrongful
deeds only by the intangible thread which
bound into helplessness the will and memory
of his victim, and made him his instrument
Murder, or any other offense, would be almost
absolutely safe under such conditions, and
in time villains might be developed of de-
gree blacker than the annals of history,
dark as are many Of its pages, can show.
The outlook for development of this
science, if it may be called science, is in
deed so startling in its possibilities, that, in
spite of the investigation of learned French
men, and the expressed belief of legislators
the plain, every day citizen must yet look
upon the whole matter with incredulity. 1t
is too much like spiritualisn, with its medi-
utns and other frauds.

DR.. Bryant's Joke.
From the Cafcnoo Mems

DR.. Bryant, who accompanied President
Cleveland on his recent tour through the West
and South, is a serious man, who never Jokes
ami never uses slang. One day the doctor was
walking through the woods on the Belle Meade
farm, near Nashville, with Gen. ''Bill' Jackson,
who is known far and wide as a very successful
racounteur The General was in particularly
high spirits that day and stories ran out of him
like sap out of sugar maple.
At the end of one, especially good story the
doctor, who did not seem to be much pricked by
the point of it. continued to look up at the trees
which he had been some time examining, and
said
General, you raise good many chestnuts
here, don't you?'
All the rest of the way the doctor wondered
why Gen. jackson told no more stories.

Gen. Tuttle Must Exnlain.

There is prospect that Gen. futile, of
Wisconsin, who is about as offensive parti-
san as there is in the country, and who
tried to make the flag incident the occasion of
arousing bitter feelings between the North
and South, will be shown to be an old
fraud He draws pension of $50 month
on account of an alleged disability received
in the war of secession. He asserted that
fan on log, which he received at the battle
of Fort Donelson, resulted in hernia, and, of
course, he got the pension which is granted
for disability of that nature.
There is a suspicion, based on information
received at the pension Office, that Gen
futile was never harmed in the war, and
that he isn't suffering from hernia, but is
afflicted with congenital malformation.
The officers in the Pension Bureau do not
say that Gen. futile secured pension by
fraudulent representations, but they expect
to be in position in few days to say
whether he has disability that entities him
to pension The doctors of the bureau
have his case under consideration, and will
soon be ready to make report upon it,
If it should appear that he has been de-
frauding the government, he will not only
lose his pension, but will become an object
of the scorn of all decent people, not only
because of his fraudulent conduct, but,
also, and chiefly, because when the flag in
cident was attracting public attention, he
made himself extremely offensive by his
pretensions of extreme loyalty and his bitter
assaults upon the President and the South
ern people We do not wish Gen. futile
any harm, but if he is proven to be a bad
man we shall not regret it if he gets all the
punishment he deserves.

Mr.. Lucas, appointed by the Governor of
West Virginia to a seat in the United States
Senate, announces his purpose to contest the
claim of Mr.. Faulkner, elected by all extra
session of the Legislature. Both are Demo-
Gratis, and their contest will give the Repub-
lican majority an opportunity of which
they are very apt to take advantage to
maintain their control without the aid Of
the eccentric Riddleberger A vacant seat
would be a very convenient thing for them
just now. The Democratic party has a
right to complain of local faction fight
which has so great an influence in national
politics.

About ten days ago it was announced by
Victor de Lesseps in behalf of his father that
no more money was needed by the Panama
Canal Company. Now the cable brings
the news that application has been made to
the French Prime Minister for permission
to float large loan by means of lottery in
ducements. French peasants would be
wiser to invest their money in three-card
monte, if that fascinating game has been
introduced in France. They would stand
no chance of getting it back, but they would
not be worried about it for years.

Mr.. Robert T. Lincoln is on a tour
through the South, to him almost an I'M
known land. At Nashville he was greeted
with warmth which must have surprised
him, if he had any belief in the stories of
Southern hate for the memory of his father
so often printed in his party papers He
was made ss@~-~~ by the most distin-
guished citizens of the city. Wherever Mr..
Lincoln may go in the South he will find
that, though cordially received for his own
sake, a peculiar interest attaches to him be-
cause Of his origin. And that interest is
not antipathctical.
